I guess the paper trail is part of what makes a respectable adventuring service.
Now I'm kind of curious as to whether this serial case is just a one-off gag or a scene change - I guess we'll find out Friday.

What I'm curious about is this: Is Lost Lake located in Zinvth, or is that just the closest major city?

AFAIK it's the closest major city and Lost lake is somewhat within the boundries of the city state. (possibly right on the border or in one of the outer regions.

Also it seems like the Propaganda works in zinvth, though being exposed to 200 years of propaganda usually should work...

Paperwork paperwork, do it today not tomorrow you jerk.
You know I think this might be a more useful form of punishment than execution. I mean when you execute someone it just spreads bad feeling around but with paperwork punishments....

Judge: Dragon the court finds you guilty of mass murder.

Dragon:*smirks*

Judge: Therefore your sentence is a 1000 years of paperwork starting with your very own trial in triplicate.

Dragon:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I find Matilda's comment on rampages to be interesting.

I wonder how many times Kria's come home to laze about for a day while drinking tea, after a rampage and losing something internal that she has to regenerate?

Any job becomes tedious paperwork once you get bureaucracy involved. I run a game studio, which means I get to do the fun stuff (designing video games, awesome!) and then...the really boring stuff (accounting! Licensing! Receipts!).

The grass is always greener though, I'm curious to see what Matilda gets up to while she's bored. Maybe she'll decide to head down to Lost Lake and meet some of the cast?

Matilda looks better every time i see her, The poses and lounging style of taurs are really nice, and some real thought has gone into it, its a rewarding science!

Dan is a lucky man too. simply by phone talk Matilda ever proves her awesome character

Hmm, I wonder if this is DP and Regina's killing spree?

Maybe, though I was thinking it might be a little more time of DP planning before the death toll started to rise because of them.

My guess would be more cases of people being killed with cubi connections. After all, one of Piflak's clan didn't die too long ago. Or possibly Piflak finally got a lead and she's following it.

I was thinking about that too, but it raises a few questions, like: would adventurers actually care if a powerful 'Cubi was murdered?  Would they be able to do much about it if they did?

Now, we might be cutting to the adventures of some Taun mercenaries, of course, but 'Cubi are kind of rare so statistically that's unlikely.

I'm thinking Cubi aren't the only creatures that might be murdered, or maybe a Adventureing group is looking for a connection between the murders.

2 words "Bring Dan." Considering his past it would be interesting to have him along.
Paperwork is the bane of any career.
